Monster design tests.

I love making monsters and wanted to explore some design ideas/techniques.
Been working with a non PBR Normal map and specular workflow, with simple complimentary hand-painted diffuse maps.

I Wanted to make them slightly creepy, but not too scary, more alien than horror and with a bright colourful palette.

They're not highly polished, but I think they have worked well as a test and I may take the ideas further with some more complex designs.

I tend to work better at designing in 3D, the other 7 or 8 designs I tried are not worth mentioning.
